Hull City started December in style by landing a fantastic 3-2 victory over QPR but this month is vital for reasons off the field as well.

For weeks we have known that the club’s owner Assem Allam plans to sell up before Christmas and whilst it may still be on the cards, the closer we get the tetchier everyone becomes.

The Tigers were linked with Jacob Butterfield from Derby County over the weekend but realistically, would a deal even be done for any player considering the lack of clarity when it comes to the club’s situation next month?

This predicament certainly adds plenty of uncertainty in that regard. In an ideal world everything would be sorted in the next couple of weeks and we will all have a clearer idea of what the January transfer window will bring, but all the coaching staff and the players can do is continue with what they have got.

They need to now focus on going down to Millwall this weekend and getting another three points. People at the club will naturally worry about what’s going on behind the scenes but they have to keep working hard.

It must be the hardest club to work for under the situation they’re in but Adkins is doing a solid job. A takeover could see him leave but he’s surprised a few people. You’ve got to take your hat off to him.

The players have to all keep playing to their maximum. It would be easier if they could do some good business next month but the last few weeks has given everyone confidence that the Tigers are finally on an upwards curve.
